Overview

It is my final year in VU IBS and I want to say that I it was my right choice about where to get my bachelor degree. I am getting an education in VU IBS with high-qualified lecturers, with good conditions for studying such as fully equipped lecture rooms, library, free time between classes you can enjoy very delicious food in school’s canteen which I very like. Also there are very responsive staff members, such as International student department or student coordinator, who are always ready to help with all kind of questions. The big opportunity VU IBS provides it is studying abroad by Erasmus or Exchange program. You can go wherever you want because there is a list of almost all countries of the world where you can study. I had a big experience studying in France and Malaysia by Exchange program. I met a lot of different people, with different cultures, who are still my good friends. I am very glad for time spending here, studying here and after graduating I will find a good job with my VU IBS knowledge and diploma which is high valued.
